My 2001 grand jeep cherokee code sysyem is erased

I took my car for a diagnostic reading and a tune-up. The Tech said he could find any codes in the system. Why would the codes be erased and can I still get a good tune-up without the codes in the system?

Codes tell you that there is a system failure. Unless you have a specific problem and see no codes, having no codes tell you that everything is working.

My 2002 jeep grand cherokee laredo wull not start shutdown 2 days ago checked all fuses but the ecu fuses don't know how to find them

According with your other quesions, the DTC P1491 code is actually radiator fan control relay circuit.
Soft reset if the battery disconnect would have erased the code; the first thing I would replace for that code (fan relay).
Additionally, its possible thta your THEFT system is activated, check owners manual to disarm. Check details here:
- Grand Cherokee fuses

- Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Hope this helps.

I have a 2002 grand cherokee. Was on my driveway backing up (on a incline ) when all of a sudden engine light came on and started running very rough with loss of power. Shut it off then restarted and took...

Your PCM (engine computer) senses a fault code with an engine management component. You will need a codes reader to retrieve the code. If you you do not have a code reader, go to a well supplied auto supply store like autozone, and they will read the codes and let you know what they are. This would be the first step any Tech would do before diagnostic testing begins.

2001 Cherokee 4.0 6cyl -- P0161 and P0158 codes

If you do not know what the codes are, it is O2 sensor. This means the computer is not reading the right information from the faulty sensor. (there is a set range the sensor is meant to show, if one goes over or under the computer shows check engine). The diagnostic is not too bad, give the car a tune up, plugs, wires etc. and replace the O2 sensor. This normally clears up any problems. Let me know if you need further clarification or help.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Power Loss

a bad cam sensor will cause vehicle to shut off while driving, and cause a hard time starting. but this usually sets a trouble code p0340. scan vehicle to see if any codes come up. after it is fixed, erase codes with a obd2 scanner. if you do not have one, you can go to any auto parts store and they will erase codes for free.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Malfunction light came on. What is the cause?

You can do one of three things.1. buy a scan tool 2. go to a dealer and pay to have the codes read and diagnosed 3. go to your local parts chain to have it read for free. (call first to verify). The code will tell you what system is malfunctioning and what the malfunction is. The parts store option is my choice, because you can also get the part to fix it if needed and you are not out the $ for diagnostics, nor did you need an appt to get it in.
